Shree Krishna Temple
The home of Shree Gujarati Hindu Satsang Mandal: a place of worship, satsang and community for Coventry’s Hindu families since 1973.
Open every day of the year
All are welcome. Timings can change on festival days, so please call ahead if you are travelling for a special occasion.
A community that built its own place of worship
For more than fifty years the Mandal has kept the faith, language and traditions of Gujarati Hindu families alive in Coventry.
Shree Gujarati Hindu Satsang Mandal was founded in 1973 by families who wanted a place to pray, sing and gather together. Today its home is Shree Krishna Temple on Harnall Lane West, a brick hall crowned by a white shikhar, open to everyone who comes in devotion.
The mandir is cared for by volunteers and trustees from the community, and supported entirely by the offerings of its devotees.

The festival year
The mandir follows the Hindu lunar calendar, so the dates move each year.
Janmashtami’s midnight aarti, nine nights of garba at Navratri, the Annakut offering at the Gujarati New Year. These are the evenings the whole community comes home.
